November 06, 1986|The Morning Call

A former Bath resident was arrested last night in Allentown on charges involving an alleged fire bombing of a car in Walnutport.

Thomas Kyle Ace was arrested by a Pennsylvania State Constable on a warrant from Lehigh Township police charging him with arson, risking a catastrophe, manufacturing incendiary devices - Molotov cocktail - and criminal conspiracy.

He was arraigned before District Justice James Stahl of Allentown, who set bail at $25,000. When Ace was unable to post the bail, he was turned over to the constable for arraignment before District Justice Harold Weaver in Northampton. Ace later was committed to Northampton County Prison in lieu of bail.
